That Union Thing
73 percent of the 400 adjunct professors at Essex County College in New Jersey signed union authorization cards to be represented by the New Jersey Federation of Teachers/AFT. New Jersey state law allows a range of public employees to decide on union representation by card-check, and the adjunct professors hope to see their first raise in 10 years, as well as changes in their working conditions so they can do a better job of teaching their students.
A study by the Eagleton Research Center and Rutgers University shows that management is more likely to coerce employees than a union during organizing campaigns.
- Workers coerced during NLRB elections by: management, 22%; union, 6%
- Workers complaining of pressure during elections by: management, 46%; unions, 14%
